Note: This project is no longer under active development.

Conveyal no longer uses this library internally. The OpenTripPlanner project has two client side libraries that are intended to replace this library.

• OTP-UI
• OTP-RR

otp.js

A lightweight library for modular development of modern OpenTripPlanner front-end interfaces.

The core of the library is a collection of data models and views (lib/), written using backbone.js, that encapsulate OTP API requests and responses (OTP API version 0.10+). Also included is a simple web client (client/) that shows how otp.js can be used to create a functional OTP front-end.

otp.js uses Component for dependency and build process management.

Getting Started

To get started with otp.js and the sample web client:

1. Clone the otp.js repo to your local machine using git clone https://github.com/conveyal/otp.js.git

2. Install npm if needed. In the otp.js project directory, run npm install to install Component and set up the development environment (this in configured in package.json).

3. Run make, which invokes Component to download any required dependencies and package them together with the local otp.js code (a copy of the packaged code is put in client/build/).

4. Copy the client configuration template from client/config.js.template to client/config.js; update client/config.js to reflect your specific setup including OTP backend, Mapbox keys, geocoder endpoints, etc.

5. Deploy the client to the web by copying the client directory to your web server.
